Firm to partner with CVAG to enhance quality and longevity of transportation network

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael Baker International, a global leader in engineering, planning and consulting services, today announced that the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) has selected the firm to provide an updated pavement condition assessment. As part of the CVAG Regional Pavement Management Program Update project, Michael Baker will provide network-level pavement condition data collection services and update CVAG's multi-year regional pavement management plan.

"Michael Baker is the only large, national AEC firm with in-house pavement data collection and pavement management services capabilities," said Nathan Kebede, P.E., National Pavement Services Lead at Michael Baker International. "Our team recently partnered with the City of Coachella to perform a pavement condition evaluation and implement a modern and practical pavement management system. We look forward to building upon this project and working with CVAG and its partner agencies to help manage their valuable roadway infrastructure and ultimately, enhance the quality and longevity of the transportation network."

The Michael Baker team will assist CVAG with updating its regional pavement condition data and preparing a multi-year pavement management program for the City of Coachella, California. The project involves data collection for 10 municipal agencies that are CVAG members. Collected pavement condition data will be used by CVAG and member agencies to identify roads in need of maintenance and implement a multi-year pavement management program. It will also inform upcoming ballot measure initiatives related to infrastructure investment.

Michael Baker will use innovative technology to gather and deliver highly accurate data in a short period of time without any interruption to municipal operations or traffic flow. The assessment will be performed using the latest equipment on the market, including a vehicle equipped with a fully integrated automated pavement imaging system, spherical 360-degree cameras and survey software. Michael Baker's data processing will be performed in a cloud environment that is easily scalable, allowing the firm to manage and rapidly process the large quantity of data generated from the pavement survey.
